Excerpt from The Battle of Lodi, or an Accurate Sketch of General Bonaparte's Campaigns in Italy: Chiefly Intended as a Companion to the Great Historical Picture, Painted by Robert Ker PorterSoon after the, cessation of hostilities be tween Great Britain and afrance, Mr. Ker Porter painted the Picture of the Battle of Lodi. He had already transmitted on canvas, thol'e scenes glorious to his Country, which were performed before the walls of Seringapatam, St. Jean d'acre, and Alexandria. In every one.ol these actions, French policy was foiled, and in the two latter, its prowess shared the same, fate. It remained for the artist to shew by the Battle of Lodi, that the Enemy was worthy of conquest, that the laurels with which the British Army and Navy returned from the Bali, were as thick as they were green, as immortal as they were resplendant.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
